EIB board

Gauthier Bourland, an inspector from Belgium’s ministry of finance, has been appointed an alternate director at the European Investment Bank (EIB) for a four-year term.

The board of directors – made up of one person from each member state plus one from the European Commission – takes decisions on loans, guarantees and borrowings.

In addition to the board, there are 19 alternate directors, and Bourland was nominated by a regional group of Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
